What’s your go to brand?


Do you throw them in the spring? If so, when do you start?

I throw them year round. I mostly use the Megabass SV-3. More times than not I use the white python color.

The $2.99 - $3.99 spinnerbaits off the shelf at Academy will catch them as good as any other spinnerbait when they are shallow.

I like building my own I throw them starting in march to Oct

What Mark Perry said. Special baits and tough as nails.

Do you sell them?

Sorry no I'm retired from manufacturing and selling now 44 years was enough

I’ve had really good luck w the custom spinner baits I bought from Don Harper.

Terminator spinnerbaits... My go-to

I throw two brands ---Strike King , several versions but primarily the Premier Plus , 1/2 oz in either double willow or willow /colorado . My biggest complaint with these are after 20+ bass of a decent size , the arm breaks right where the lines ties after adjusting back to shape .
The other brand I like a lot --- War Eagle , they have some really good combo's that get bite a lot and they make some heavier models in a smaller profile .
I throw spinnerbaits year round if the water is stained , only late spring through fall if water is clear .
My best day ever came on a white 1/2oz strike king , 4 hours of fishing , over 35 bass with my best five approx 36 lbs without a DD --- I didn't get a single fish under 3lbs

I wish they still made the T-1 model! The new ones are just not the same to me.

Am I the only one that has a constant problem of Spinnerbaits running sideways?? I don't know if I'm reeling them too fast or what but I swear every spinnerbait I throw will end up running with the blade and body both running horizontally instead of vertically.

There are more applications to building a spinnerbait than you can imagine. Running true and in the water table you wish to fish is just the beginning. The weather conditions is also a huge determining factor in your success with the right combinations of blades, living rubber skirts, trailors and sizes. You can see some of my best on my website in my signature.

War Eagle

I caught my PB a 9.2 lb'er on a $1 spinner bait from Walmart. To me it's all in presentation.
